‘30 Days of Frustration’ Ahead: Pro

Institutional money will be looking for the exits in June, Joe Terranova of Virtus Investment Partners, says.

Institutional money will likely be heading for the exits in June, Joe Terranova of Virtus Investment Partners said Monday.

"The question becomes for a money manager, what do you want to buy right here? Do you want to buy cyclicals when the growth really isn't evident? Do you want to buy defensives when you have rising interest rates? I think we're in a period here of 30 days of frustration and exiting from risk assets," he said.

On CNBC's "Fast Money," Terranova said that it was important to see what institutional investors would do next.

"I already think the month of June is going to be a month where the institutional money is going to a month where the institutional money is looking for exits, whether it's in fixed income, whether it's in equities," he said.

"The action there hasn't been good," he said, pointing out stronger names such as Inteland Hewlett-Packard.

"I think right now what you need to look for as we head into the month of June is companies that haven't peaked out or had too much of a high run, companies where you can see a back-half rally, and I think Intel plays into that this morning."

"I'm still in the camp that says the market is not strong enough, the economy's not strong enough to see any significant tapering, so we can talk about the market we want or the market we've got," he said.
